Liberia’s decentralization journey is bringing development closer to the people—county by county, community by community- UN Resident Coordinator Madam Christine Umutoni

"Strong local governance is essential to achieving national development priorities. By empowering counties, strengthening local planning systems, and promoting the inclusive participation of women and youth, Liberia is building responsive institutions that can deliver sustainable progress in social services, agriculture, infrastructure, and beyond.

The United Nations is proud to support this transformation, from strengthening County Development Planning Units to expanding access to essential public services nationwide. Sustainable development is most effective when it is locally owned, locally led, and responsive to the needs of communities.

Together with government, development partners, and local stakeholders, we remain committed to advancing decentralization as a pathway to inclusive growth, stronger institutions, and improved livelihoods for all Liberians."
